Artists of the Froon Timmer collective featured in the exhibition are Alison Darby, Marta Djourina, Karin Salathé, and Sidsel Ladegaard.

FRIDAY 24.11

19.00 Memed Erdener – „Beauty of Bigotry“ @ Zilberman Gallery

WHY: Influenced by myths, history of nation states and religions, Memed Erdener incorporates multiple genres of imagemaking in order to reveal corruption and contamination of regimes by also rethinking historical figures. Consisted of paintings – oil pastel and acrylic on paper and canvas – and objects with found materials such as iron, brass, prescription lens, plastic fork, „Beauty of Bigotry“ engages discourse around the constructive and destructive aspects of the world as well as power dynamics with various references from Eros to Ottoman Divan poetry to contemporary leader figures.

19.00 Malwina Niespodziewana – „Comic Gold Haribo“ @ Maniere Noire

WHY: Malwina Niespodziewana is interested in storytelling in its broadest sense.

The main character stays for the artist, even though she could represent an entire generation.

FRIDAY 01.12

19.00 TC McCormack – „The Immense Ventriloquism“ @ nationalmuseum

WHY: In his upcoming exhibition, TC McCormack considers how our man-made structures exist in and out of time, how the course of history continually reappraises objects, resources, and even nature. „The Immense Ventriloquism“ has a particular rhythmic structure, achieved through the cadence of the visual phrasing in the films, and in the recalcitrant curation of a series of pattern motifs that act upon the work and space. Accompanying the films is a large suspended print and an arrangement of objects and sculpture illuminated by animated light projection.
